Chicken Saddles & Hen Aprons

Chicken saddles and hen aprons cover the back and shoulder area where repeated rooster mating can wear or break feathers. Choose the appropriate size, ensure the saddle does not restrict normal movement, and inspect the skin and fit regularly for rubbing, debris, or shifting straps. A saddle can protect vulnerable skin while feathers regrow, but other causes of feather loss may require different action. Read our hen saddle fit and safety guide, or review common reasons chickens lose feathers when the cause is unclear.
